The Trump side says everyone would have met with the Russians to get dirt on Clinton. That’s not true.

Here are two examples of similar situations from prior campaigns.

Keep pointing out that Gore 2000 campaign received stolen Bush debate book, which would have helped tremendously in prep. (I had one of few copies; it was well done.) They turned it over to FBI. That stolen info came from Austin, not Russia. What Rudy is saying is so absurd. https://t.co/le6Aj5bvVz

During 1976 Carter campaign, I was in cubicle in Atlanta next to then-foreign-policy-staffer R Holbrooke.

Overheard him getting phone call w tip from foreign source about our opponent, then-Prez Gerald Ford.

RH said, “We’ve got to report this,” went to Zbig Brz to do so. https://t.co/ywRv0Lr3H5
